E3

Well, Sony just nailed this one on the head. After Microsoft announced the all new Xbox One there has been countless complaints and discussion about the entire ecosystem. Talk of used games not being supported, always-on connections, and people getting their tinfoil hats and more. Sony just cleared up any possible doubt with the PS4. Yes, Yes the Playstation 4 will support used games. No matter what.

Under the ground we go with Watch Dogs, an open sandbox game in which the user is a hacker in futuristic smart city, able to take control of any display, any computer system, and quite a few other humans, as well. Gameplay expands this week as Sony shows their PlayStation 4 graphics and computing power blowing through the game with some rather interesting results.

This week at E3 2013, the folks at Ready At Dawn studios have shown a title that'd been just whispered of before today - The Order: 1886. This game will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive title and will follow a band of steampunk-like characters heading in to battle with what appears to be an age-old stagecoach. Once they reach a bump in the road, on the other hand, a bit more appears than meets the eye.

The folks from Sony are up on stage this evening showcasing all sorts of Sony Entertainment products for E3. From the PS VITA, upcoming games for the PS3, and of course the PS4.

This week the folks at Sony have made the console official for the PlayStation 4 - not just a box, but something a bit more sharp. This machine doesn't take on any new specifications here at the start of the week at E3, but here with the reveal of the machine, the keynote just got a whole lot more interesting. For those of you just joining in on the PlayStation 4 journey, this is the second PlayStation 4 keynote address of the year but the first in which we've seen the device.

Today, Microsoft announced a new, redesigned version of the Xbox 360. While the company's E3 2013 press conference was mostly about the Xbox One, it seems they want to keep the Xbox 360 relevant for just a bit longer. After all, gamers still have until November before they're able to pick up a fancy new Xbox One, so a redesigned Xbox 360 will happily fill the void in the meantime.

Microsoft held its E3 2013 press conference today, and as expected, they showed off a lot of new Xbox One games, including Metal Gear Solid V, Forza Motorsports 5, Dead Rising 3, and The Witcher 3 just to name a few.

Closing out the E3 event today was the news many had been waiting to see confirmed -- the pricing and the availability of the Xbox One.

Well, $499 for those in the US anyway.

Battlefield 4 was announced back towards the end of March. It was during that earlier announcement when we learned the title was heading to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Windows. Today, during the Microsoft E3 announcement we got a bit of a look at Battlefield 4 for the Xbox One. And in addition, there was also word of an item that will be an exclusive for those playing on the Xbox One.

It wouldn't be a Microsoft press conference without a mention of Halo. We already know that Halo: Spartan Assault is coming, but Microsoft announced that a new untitled Halo game will be coming in 2014 to the Xbox One. Furthermore, as Microsoft's "one last thing," Titanfall was officially announced, from some of the developers who brought you the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series.
